The Large Intestine
Pandian M.
Dept. of Physiology
Functions of the large
intestine
 Reabsorb water and compact material into feces
 Absorb vitamins produced by bacteria
 Store fecal matter prior to defecation
The areas of the colon are:
 Ascending
 Transverse
 Descending
 Sigmoid
 Rectum
 Anal canal
Histology of the large
intestine
 Absence of villi
 Presence of goblet cells
 Deep intestinal glands
The physiology of different
colon regions
1. The ascending colon is specialized for processing
chyme delivered from the terminal ileum
 When rediolabeled chemy is instilled
into cecum, half of the instilled volume
empties in 87 min
 This period is short in comparison with
the transverse colon
 The ascending colon is not the primary
site of storage, mixing and removal of
water
The physiology of different
colon regions
2. The transverse colon is specialized for the storage and
dehydration of feces
 The labeled material is retained for
about 24 hrs
 The transverse colon is the primary
site for the removal of water and
electrolytes and the storage of feces
The physiology of different
colon regions
3. The descending colon is a conduit between the
transverse and sigmoid colon
 Labeled feces begin to accumulate
in the sigmoid colon about 24 hrs
after the label is instilled in the
cecum
 This region has the neural program
for power propulsion
The physiology of different
colon regions
4. The physiology of the rectosigmoid region, anal canal,
and pelvic floor musculature maintains fecal
continence
 The sigmoid and rectum are reservoirs
with a capacity of up to 500mL
 The puborectalis muscle and external
anal sphincter comprise a functional unit
of that maintains continence
 Fibers of puborectalis join behaind the
anorectum and pass around it to form a
U-shaped sling (physiological valve)
Sensory innervation and
continence
 Mechanoreceptors in the rectum detect
distention and supply the ENS
 The anal canal in the region of the skin is
innervated by somatosensory nerves that
transmit signals to CNS
 This region has sensory receptors of pain,
temperature and touch
 Contraction of internal anal sphincter and
puborectalis muscle blocks the passage of
feces and maintains continence
Motility in the Large Intestine
 The proximal half of the colon is concerned with absorption and the distal
half with storage
 The transit of small labeled markers through the large intestine occurs in
36-48 hrs
 Movements of the colon
 Mixing movements (Haustrations)
 Propulsive movements (Mass Movements)
Motility in the Large Intestine
 Mixing movements (Haustrations)
o Ring-like contractions (about 2.5 cm) of the circular
muscle divide the colon into pockets called haustra
o The contracting segment and receiving segment on
either side remain in their respective state for longer
periods
o In addition, there is uniform repetition of the haustra
along the colon
o Net forward propulsion occurs when sequential
migration of haustra occurs along the length of the
bowel
Motility in the Large Intestine
 Propulsive movements (Mass Movements)
o The motor events in the transverse and descending
colon
o May be triggered by the increased delivery of ileal
chyme into ascending colon following a meal
(gastrocolic reflex)
o Irritants, e.g., castor oil, threatening agents such
as parasites and enterotoxins can initiate mass
movement
o Starts in the middle of transverse colon and is
preceded by relaxation of the circular muscle and
the downstream disappearance of haustral
contractions
Physiology of the large
intestine
 Reabsorption in the large intestine includes:
 Water
 Vitamins – K, biotin, and B5
 Organic wastes – urobilinogens and sterobilinogens
 Bile salts
 Toxins
The rectum
 Last portion of the digestive tract
 Terminates at the anal canal
 Internal and external anal sphincters

The large intestine by Pandian M.

  • 1. The Large Intestine Pandian M. Dept. of Physiology
  • 2. Functions of the large intestine  Reabsorb water and compact material into feces  Absorb vitamins produced by bacteria  Store fecal matter prior to defecation
  • 3. The areas of the colon are:  Ascending  Transverse  Descending  Sigmoid  Rectum  Anal canal
  • 4.
  • 5. Histology of the large intestine  Absence of villi  Presence of goblet cells  Deep intestinal glands
  • 6. The physiology of different colon regions 1. The ascending colon is specialized for processing chyme delivered from the terminal ileum  When rediolabeled chemy is instilled into cecum, half of the instilled volume empties in 87 min  This period is short in comparison with the transverse colon  The ascending colon is not the primary site of storage, mixing and removal of water
  • 7. The physiology of different colon regions 2. The transverse colon is specialized for the storage and dehydration of feces  The labeled material is retained for about 24 hrs  The transverse colon is the primary site for the removal of water and electrolytes and the storage of feces
  • 8. The physiology of different colon regions 3. The descending colon is a conduit between the transverse and sigmoid colon  Labeled feces begin to accumulate in the sigmoid colon about 24 hrs after the label is instilled in the cecum  This region has the neural program for power propulsion
  • 9. The physiology of different colon regions 4. The physiology of the rectosigmoid region, anal canal, and pelvic floor musculature maintains fecal continence  The sigmoid and rectum are reservoirs with a capacity of up to 500mL  The puborectalis muscle and external anal sphincter comprise a functional unit of that maintains continence  Fibers of puborectalis join behaind the anorectum and pass around it to form a U-shaped sling (physiological valve)
  • 10.
  • 11. Sensory innervation and continence  Mechanoreceptors in the rectum detect distention and supply the ENS  The anal canal in the region of the skin is innervated by somatosensory nerves that transmit signals to CNS  This region has sensory receptors of pain, temperature and touch  Contraction of internal anal sphincter and puborectalis muscle blocks the passage of feces and maintains continence
  • 12. Motility in the Large Intestine  The proximal half of the colon is concerned with absorption and the distal half with storage  The transit of small labeled markers through the large intestine occurs in 36-48 hrs  Movements of the colon  Mixing movements (Haustrations)  Propulsive movements (Mass Movements)
  • 13. Motility in the Large Intestine  Mixing movements (Haustrations) o Ring-like contractions (about 2.5 cm) of the circular muscle divide the colon into pockets called haustra o The contracting segment and receiving segment on either side remain in their respective state for longer periods o In addition, there is uniform repetition of the haustra along the colon o Net forward propulsion occurs when sequential migration of haustra occurs along the length of the bowel
  • 14. Motility in the Large Intestine  Propulsive movements (Mass Movements) o The motor events in the transverse and descending colon o May be triggered by the increased delivery of ileal chyme into ascending colon following a meal (gastrocolic reflex) o Irritants, e.g., castor oil, threatening agents such as parasites and enterotoxins can initiate mass movement o Starts in the middle of transverse colon and is preceded by relaxation of the circular muscle and the downstream disappearance of haustral contractions
  • 15. Physiology of the large intestine  Reabsorption in the large intestine includes:  Water  Vitamins – K, biotin, and B5  Organic wastes – urobilinogens and sterobilinogens  Bile salts  Toxins
  • 16. The rectum  Last portion of the digestive tract  Terminates at the anal canal  Internal and external anal sphincters
